Wow. I wake up this morning and find that Fidel Castro has resigned. It should be interesting to see what will happen to Cuba, will they attempt to continue as a Communist nation, or will they give in to McDonalds and Wal*Mart?

Also in the news, the price of oil climbed to $100.10, a new intraday record, before settling a bit to a record close of $100.01. This is the first time oil has closed above $100 a barrel.
